TOYOTA GAZOO Racing has achieved the WEC World Championship for the second time, following the title in 2014. I would like to really thank the fans for all their support. The team has faced challening conditions on demanding circuits, for example the race at Fuji, the heavy rain of Shanghai, the famous bumps of Sebring and the snowy weather at Spa, an undulating and difficult circuit. I am proud of the six drivers and all team members who fought hard in all the races and won

Keating Motorsport have announced that their Ford Gt will be sporting the iconic, retro Wynns livery at the 2019 Le Mans 24 Hour Race in June. In 1939 Chestien Wynn, a 70 year old retired attorney with an interest in lubrication chemistry, discovered a formula he named "Wynn's Friction Proofing" Oil. This surface treatment for metal actually changed the chemistry of the metal, making it softer and better able to withstand friction and wear. Chestien Wynn would mix a batch of

The news which some fans may have been waiting for has appeared in the Le Mans local news paper today. The Le Maine Libre is reporting that Audi will return to Le Mans with a hydrogen powered car. The article says that Audi is secretly working on a hydrogen-powered racing car project to enter the 24 Hours of Le Mans by 2024. Like Formula E, which allows electric car manufacturers to compete on the track as well as on the road, the Le Mans 24 Hours of Le Mans should become th

So the 86th running of the Le Mans 24 hours is over and we think the dust has settled on this, the first of two visits to Le Mans during this FIA World Endurance Championship super season. Way back on the Sunday of scrutineering, as the cars arrived to a wet Place de la Republic, we may have been forgiven for thinking that the result was already known and that Toyota would win the race… but what would be in store for the teams and drivers on their journey to the flag… remembe

In his 4th year at Le Mans, Ben Keating will be driving the number 85 Risi Competizione supported Keating Motorsports Ferrari 488 GTE in the AM class, alongside him in the car will be Jeroen Bleekemolen and Luca Stolz. “It’s interesting as this is my 4th Le Mans, I feel the prior experience (in LMP2) makes a difference as I know where I can make up time and where the Prototype cars will be quicker and like to overtake. Also I find it is easier for me to have confidence on tra

We took a moment to catch up with Eddie Cheever III as he prepares for his first Le Mans, read on and find out how the driver of the #70 MR Racing is feeling before the big day. First Le Mans, How does it feel? It’s exciting, its going to be a long week, there is so much going on, its good that I have somebody who has so much experience like Olivier in the car and who can talk me through what I have to do during the week. Its very important to get as much adapted as you can,

As they prepare for race week, Prescott Motorsport grabbed a few minutes ‘in the booth’ with Radio Le Mans John ‘Hindy’ Hindhaugh, Shea Adam and ‘Brilliant Bob’. Hindy came to his first Le Mans in 1989 and has not looked back since! He and his superb team will provide somewhere in the region of 28 hours straight through uninterrupted live coverage of the race, and that doesn’t include practice, qualifying and warm up sessions! We asked what the biggest change was he had seen
